Mission Teams
David’s Hope began when a mission team went to Eburru, saw a need, and asked the question – How Can We Fill This Need? Partnering together with a heavy reliance on God’s master plan, David’s Hope and Camp Brethren Ministries have built a community that reaches back and forth across the globe. Calling and assisting mission teams is at the heart of what David’s Hope is accomplishing. The past 3 years has seen an average of 8 teams each year going to Eburru to assist Camp Brethren in their outreach and ministry. All teams have different gifts and talents which lends to accomplishing a lot in many different areas of the ministry. From these missions’ teams, two participants answered an even greater call – to go to Eburru full-time to live and work among the community there. After multiple trips on different teams, 2019 saw both missionaries arrive on the scene.

Build Team 2020
FEBRUARY 2020
The first Paradigm Build team traveled to Eburru in February. Included in the 14 member team was the Gresham family with their two kids, Matt and Emma. This was not the first time parents have brought their kids along on a mission trip; a family team regularly goes each spring through David’s Hope. What an incredible opportunity for kids to experience another culture and to see missions firsthand. Matt and Emma were eager to share about their experience. They worked on two of the house projects, attended school with kids their age, and got to visit in several homes of the students and other villagers. They even went on safari before returning home. Here is what they had to say:
…
Matt enjoyed his time at school with Teacher Benson, learning grammar, science, social studies, agriculture and more. He made lots of new friends and he learned how to paint. He learned that people have JOY, even when they have little. Emma really enjoyed her new friend, Linet. It was fun to visit at her house and see her cows. She also loved painting at Martha’s house. Her takeaway lesson was to be grateful for the things she has, because not everyone has the things that we often take for granted. How fun to see a trip through the eyes of the next generation. “One generation shall commend your works to another and shall declare your mighty acts. ” Psalm 145:4 We hope to see Matt and Emma and other kids on future trips.
